Joshua Bledsoe plays at the Yamaha Young
Performing Artist competition on June 26 at the
Braden Auditorium on the campus of Illinois State
University in Normal, III. Bledsoe won first place, an
honor less than 200 other people share since the
event's inception in 1989.

Crestview News Bulletin
Before Joshua Bledsoe could speak, he
was singing songs in Italian and French.
His mother and father, Keitha and
Greg Bledsoe, played the piano and he
sang along. Music is in his blood.
Bledsoe, 21, graduated from
Crestview High School in 2003. Since
then, he has been attending Florida State
University, where he is honing his skills
as one of the country's top performing
trombone players.
Bledsoe recently won the prestigious
Yamaha Young Performing Artist compe-
tition, which was held on June 26 at the
Braden Auditorium on the campus of
Illinois State University in Normal, Ill.

A trombone player for 10 years, he is
currently completing his Bachelor of
Music in Trombone Performance degree
at FSU. He plans to pursue his master's
degree in trombone performance once he
graduates next spring.
To shed some light on his accomplish-
ment, Bledsoe is just one of more than
150 other musicians who have won the
award since its inception in 1989. Other
winners include jazz saxophone player
Walter Blanding, who won the award in
1990. Blanding has performed and
recorded with Cab Calloway and the
Wynton Marsalis Septet, as well as other
modem-day jazz giants.
"It was definitely a life-changing expe-
rience," Bledsoe said Wednesday, as he
took a brief break from rehearsing.

Bledsoe wakes up every morning at
five. He is at school by 7 a.m. His
rehearsals are interspersed throughout
the day and he usually plays his trom-
bone into the late hours of the night.
"It's tough to keep that kind of regi-
men all the time," he said. "It was some-
thing that I really had to work on."
Bledsoe said listeners are always sur-
prised when they hear him for the first
time. After all, he wails on his trombone
like it's an electric guitar.
"I guess I love to play things that are
really technical, fast, high and flashy," he
said.
One of the flashy pieces he plays is Jim
Pugh's "Concerto," a piece that only a

charged for

animal abuse

Robert Money is charged with 32 felony and
25 misdemeanor counts of animal cruelty.

Crestview News Bulletin
Robert Franklin Money, 40, was arrested at the Okaloosa
County Jail Thursday. He is accused of abusing nearly 60
animals in Holt.
Authorities were first notified of the
.-.-offenses on July -20- when a neighbor
reported that a lingering foul stench was
coming from Money's residence.
Money, who resides at 4684 Hardy
Adams Road in Holt, is being charged
with 32 felony counts and 25 misde-
meanor counts of animal cruelty.
Deputies and animal control workers
MONEY discovered the carcasses of 32 animals.
There were also 25 live animals that were
suffering from severe malnutrition.
SS.nta Rosa deputies arrested Money on Wednesday on
an unrelated violation of probation charge.
A motorist saw him on the news and then reported see-
inglhim traveling east on U.S. Highway 90 toward Holt.
He is currently being held without bond pending his first
court appearance, which is scheduled Aug. 29 at 8:30 a.m.
When Sheriff's Deputy Randall Joiner first arrived at
Money's house on July 20, he discovered one of the worst
animal abuse cases he had ever seen.
"I could smell it about 50 yards away," Joiner said. "It got
almost stifling; it took my breath away rotting flesh and
100 degree heat."
He discovered four dogs, 11 hogs and 17 chickens dead
from starvation.
The 25 living animals had no food and water, and the liv-
:ing hogs were feeding on the rotting carcasses that were
decaying and caged within the same pens.

Okaloosa County school superinten-
dent Don Gaetz and staff presented an
aggressive five year capital outlay bud-
get and work plan to the school board at
their July 24 meeting.
Gaetz is proposing $250 million in
capital outlay improvements to the
school district over the next five years.
Much of the budget would be spent in
the north Okaloosa district.
"This will be the largest improve-

ment in our capital plan since the penny
sales tax," said Gates.
The main highlights of the plan call
for two new schools in the Crestview
area, one to replace the aging Southside
Elementary, and another to replace
Richbourg Middle School. The existing
Richbourg campus would then be con-
verted into two schools, One of them a
special needs school similar to the Silver

The door of the Baker
Block Museum squeaks open
more frequently now than it
did 10 years ago.
More casual wanderers
meander between plow-
shares and wagon wheels,
bank vaults, photo displays
and old church pews just a
few of the thousands of arti-
facts that have been donated
over the years.
On Sunday, the curators at
the museum invite the com-
munity to celebrate the
museum's 10th anniversary.
The celebration is from 2
p.m. to 4 p.m.
After 10 years, the build-
ing, stout with gleaming
hardwood floors and wind-
battered, crusty bricks, is a
testament to life in north
Okaloosa County.
Ir'the early 1990s, a small
group of locals met and dis-
cussed how they could pre-
serve local history. They had
no formal training in estab-
lishing a museum. However,
they believed that north
Okaloosa County was
important; its heritage was
worth preserving.
The idea of a community
museum that promoted local
history seemed like a grand
goal.
"If we really had done
some soul searching, it prob-
ably would have scared us to
death," said Jeanette
Henderson, curator for the
museum.
Henderson is one of seven
charter board members who
created the North Okaloosa
Historical Association. The
group created the organiza-
tion in the early 1990s, and
soon started looking for a

section of state roads 4 and 189 in Baker.

location for an office and
museum.
Area families were
thrilled about the prospects
of a museum. Pioneering
families were ready to hand
over old farm tools and other
items that had knee-high
grass and rust crawling over
them.
With the help of two state
grants totaling more than
$300,000, and numerous state
prisoners, the museum
opened in July 1996.
The inmates provided
inexpensive, strong labor
that stretched the financial
boundaries of the grants and
enabled the early board
members to dream big. The
inmates completely gutted
out sections of the building
and started from scratch.
The block building was
built in sections over the
course of 40 years in the early
part of the 20th century.
"If it had not been for the

state Department of
Corrections, we would not
have had enough money to
refurbish the building,"
Henderson said. "They've
been with us since day one."
The smell of coffee often
lingers throughout the build-
ing, hovering just above the
artifacts, and nestling itself in
the vacant space just below
the vaulted ceilings.
Though parking is free,
cars can park in front of an
antique parking meter that
was from the Okaloosa
Regional Airport. There is
also a hitching post outside.
Two larger-than-life
murals sandwich the ends of
the block building and depict
images that celebrate the
north county's history.
On Thursday, two inmates
took their break; they picked
black seeds out of a red, ripe
watermelon and cleansed
their hands of the juices with
a dirty shop towel.

They were setting up a
"new" antique desk that
would d go in the museum's
genealogical library, which
houses thousands of docu-
ments on the pioneer fami-
lies that first settled in
Okaloosa County.
The families set roots in
communities like Wellman,
F ra nklin, Deerland,
Sugartown, Mountain City,
Silver Springs and Brick.
Henderson hopes that these
names can be preserved on
the county's newer maps.,
"These places were real,"
..she explained passionately.
'They-were there; they exist-
ed '
The museum's genealogy
section continues to expand.
Henderson and other volun-
teers continue to dig up old
railroad maps and field notes
from the original survey
crews that first platted the
area. Some maps and notes
date back before the Civil
War.
Henderson takes a lot of
pride in what she does. But
her main goal is to impress
upon area residents that the
museum belongs to every-
body not just a select few.
"We try to take care of it as
if it was our own property,"
she said. "But it belongs to
the people. We're just care-
takers."
For Henderson, observing
and preserving local history
is like watching a young
family.
A couple marries. They
move around and settle
somewhere. They build a
home. They start a family.
"It's good to be able to
step back and look at a com-
munity that has flowered
and grown so much over the
years," she said.7

Auburn Water Systems is not going
to be building any sewer lines or waste-
water treatment plants, but new water
customers of AWS may be hooking up
to sewer lines owned by the Okaloosa
County Water-& Sewer Department in
the future. Representatives of Auburn
Water and the Okaloosa Water & Sewer
Department met this past week and
worked out details of a new inter-local
agreement that will replace one
approved in the fall of 2004. That agree-
ment had been heralded as a way for
north Okaloosa County residents that
were on the Auburn Water System to
get sewer service.
This was prompted by the need for
the large Heritage Plantation country
dub development to have sewer ser-
vice; grey water from a sewer plant was
to irrigate the golf course and the resi-
dential lots. That proposal fell apart
when the cost of building the sewer
lines from the area of Heritage
Plantation to the Bob Sikes Wastewater
Plant at the Crestview Airport became
prohibitive for the developers who
were supposed to pay that expense.
Instead, Heritage Plantation went to
the county commissioners and got
approval to build their own one-mil-
lion-gallon-per-day treatment plant.
There was talk of a possible lawsuit by
AWS, but their board of directors chose
to try negotiating a change in the inter-
local agreement with the county.
That agreement was reached in prin-
cipal at the meeting between Jeff
Littrell, director ,of the Okaloosa
County Water and Sewer Department;
Joey Crews, engineer for the county,
and their attorney, Gregg Stewart of

tives William Bailey, Cedric Peterson,
and their attorney Lance Clouse with
the Chesser & Barr Law Firm.
The method of billing AWS cus-
tomers when they hook up to the
Okaloosa County sewer system is one
area that will be determined later. First,
the accounting and data processing
departments of both agencies deter-
mine the most cost effective methods of
billing customers. They will need a pro-
cedure for turning off water if a cus-
tomer becomes delinquent on sewer
service payments, if it is billed sepa-
rately from the water bill.
Littrell said, "I felt that this was a
very productive agreement. I think our
meeting was relaxed and friendly. I
think that both parties came to the table
wanting to reach an agreement and I
think we made tremendous amount of
progress."
William Bailey, AWS president,
agreed. "We're both looking towards a

solution that will affect our county res-
idents and the customers within the
Auburn area."
With 20 years of experience in his
field, Littrell observed, "I have a kind of
a natural inclination to think that sani-
tary sewer is better for large scale
development than building hundreds
or thousands of septic tanks."
Bailey said that "There is a lot of
interest within the Auburn Water area
for large multifamily development that
would need sewer service. And sewer
service will open it up economically for
other commercial development as well.
I think it's goifg to be good for every-
body.
"And of course Auburn Water will
need to work to expand its water sys-
tem. We're working on a new con-
sumptive use permit right now."
Among the concerns Bailey and
Peterson expressed during the meeting
was that AWS would not want their
existing customers to be forced to con-
nect to the sewer system. Littrell point-
ed out, "Okaloosa County will not do
that. But that if someone has a septic
system and it fails, and the resident
goes to the Health Department to get a
permit to build a new one, they could
be told by the State to connect to sewer
if it is available, instead of replacing the
septic tank."
The new inter-local agreement with
language relating to that situation will
have to be presented to the Okaloosa
County Board of Commissioners and
the AWS Board of Directors at one of
their next regular meetings. Both
boards will have to approve it.

Local defense contractor honored

Ken Nielsen
Crestview News Bulletin

The Boeing Company has
selected local defense contractor,
Certified -Manufacturing Inc.,
located in the Holt Industrial Park,
as one of two companies nation-
wide that will receive special pro-
tdgd training over the next three
years through the federal govern-
ment's Mentor-Protdg6 Program.
As a major supplier to Boeing
for the AC-130U Gunship and the
MC-130H Aerial Refueling
System, CMI has developed one of
Boeing's most successful small
business partnerships.
"It's a very competitive selec-
tion process," said Karl Jepperson,
Boeing's director of Supply
Management and Procurement for
Support Systems. "This really
shows their capability to offer
some of the capabilities and prod-
ucts and be able to grow and fos-
ter this mentor prot6g6 relation-
ship."
For CMI president and owner
Pam Bechtold, the award brings
recognition beyond her entrepre-
neurial dreams.
"It's a tremendous accomplish-
ment for all of our team here at
CMI," said Bechtold. "It gives us
exposure across the country and
across the DOD. This is exposure
that we normally would not get.
We are a much more sought after
company now because of this
recognition. This puts us on
Boeing's front lines as a preferred
supplier."

underwrites the Mentor-Prot4gd
Program. Boeing will imbed some
of its representatives at CMI and
assists them to successfully com-,
pete for prime contract and sub-
contract awards.
The Mentors-Prot6g6 Program
has been positive, constructive,
and useful in building stronger
business relationships, elevating
hundreds of small business firms
to a higher level, transferring*tech-
nology, and fulfilling the supply
needs of the DOD.

And of some have compassion,
making a difference Jude 1:22
As a Christian' are you mak-
ing a noticeable difference in the
lives of others? This ought to be
a question that we constantly
ask ourselves as we are engaged
in the activities of life. The
Apostle Paul compares the
Christian life to a vocation or
job. In Ephesians 4:1 he writes, "I
therefore, the prisoner of the
Lord, beseech you that ye walk
worthy of the vocation where-
with ye are called." Vocation lit-
erally means to be called to a
work or service. Paul instructs
Christians to walk worthy of the
calling to which they are called
by the Lord. This passage teach-
es that the Lord's people are
called to make a marked differ-
ence in the lives of those around
them. Jude indicates that there
were those in early church histo-
ry that were making a difference
in their cities because of their
diligent walk with and obedi-
ence to the Lord Jesus Christ. It
should be our desire to imitate
this pattern of a worthy walk.
The Church
In Acts 17 we find the
Apostle Paul and Silas preach-
ing Jesus unto the Gentiles.
God blessed some of them to
believe in Jesus and this pro-
voked others amongst the Jews
to jealousy. As the church grew,
their jealousy increased. In
their rage, they attacked the
household of a Christian
named Jason. They were
searching for Paul and Silas but
did not find them. In verse 6,
one of the aggressors stated,
"These that have turned the
world upside down are come
hither also." This is a wonder-
ful descriptor of a young
church making a difference.
What was the church at
Thessalonica doing that turned
the world upside down? They

were attending to and obeying
the gospel of Jesus Christ. In 1
Thessalonians 1:3, Paul recalls
this church's work of faith,
labor of love, and patience of
hope in Jesus Christ. They
knew they were part of the
elect family of God and lived to
honor their Heavenly Father
(v.4). They were faithful despite
afflictions and were examples
to neighboring cities (v. 6-7).
What a wonderful testimony of
a church that desired to impact
their city and surrounding
regions!
Is your church turning the
world upside down or is it
maintaining the status quo?
The New Testament church is
to be engaged in proclaiming
the gospel of Jesus Christ, and
its members are to conduct
themselves as the salt of the
earth. I remember once preach-
ing at a church that only had
the desire to keep their doors
open so the few remaining
members could have their
funerals in the building. This is
a very shortsighted vision and
not pleasing to the Lord. They
are like the church of Sardis in
Revelation 3:1. They had a
name amongst the living but
they were dead. This is an
extreme example, but churches
that adhere to this type of atti-
tude need to repent and search
the scriptures for their stan-
dard of behavior and Godly
vision.
How is the modem church
to make a difference today? The
focus is not to be on entertain-
ment. In an effort to attract
large numbers, many churches
offer a wide variety of activities
to cater to every demographic-
in our society. There's some-
thing for the young, old, single,
married, divorced, etc. Sunday
morning in many places more
closely resembles a three-ring
circus than a place where God
is honored. People are being
amused, the children are being
entertained for an hour or so,
and throngs of people are

attracted into these places. But,
is the church really making a
spiritual difference in the lives
of God's people? If entertain-
ment and amusement were
necessary wouldn't God have
included it in his Word?
The answer is not in making
the church look like the world,
but to preach Jesus Christ and
his crucifixion. In Acts 17 when
Paul entered into the syna-
gogue he reasoned with them
out of the scriptures and
preached unto them Christ (v.2-
3). The teaching of Christ and
the word of God are what made
the difference. Everyone was
not attracted to this message.
Some were even provoked to
rage. Nevertheless, God was
glorified and an impact was
made in the respective cities
where the gospel was
preached. This ought to be our
pattern today. We need to
preach and live in a manner
that becomes the gospel of
Christ. I am reminded of Jesus'
instruction to his disciples in
Matthew 28:19-20. "Go ye
therefore, and teach all nations,
baptizing them in the name of
the Father, and of the Son, and
of the Holy Ghost: Teaching
them to observe all things
whatsoever I have commanded
you: and, lo, I am with you
always, even unto the end of
theworld. Amen." If we follow
this simple example, then we
will make a difference as a
church and in our communi-
ties.

TALLAHASSEE -
Florida Housing Finance
Corporation is making $100
million in mortgages avail-
able to low-to moderate-
income Floridians through
the First Time Homebuyer
Program. This money is
available at a 30-year, fixed
interest rate of 5.75%, but
consumers purchasing in
one of 13 GO Zone counties
could be eligible for a 5.5%
interest rate, thanks in part
to Freddie Mac.
"The consumer participa-
tion in our First Time
Homebuyer Program over
the past six months has truly
risen," said Florida
Housing's Executive
Director Steve Auger.
"We're seeing weekly loan
reservations averaging
between $6 million and $9
million. With rising land,
construction and insurance
costs, it's difficult for first-
time homebuyers to find
affordable housing. Our
program opens the door to
affordable homeownership
for low-to moderate-income
Floridians by offering
below-market rates and up
to $25,000 in down payment
assistance in high cost
areas."
Florida Housing's First

has traditionally made
mortgages available to
first-time homebuyers only.

Football fun

Over 50 youths

attend CHS camp
Kyle Wright
News Bulletin Sports Editor

Crestview High School
senior-to-be Ryan Hooper
chuckled as he watched more
than 50 youngster scurry
across the field in Jack Foster
Stadium on Thursday.
"I don't remember when I
ran like that," Hooper said.
"But I'm sure it wasn't too
long ago. It's fun to watch."
Hooper and other CHS
varsity football players,
along with their coaches,
helped pass on their love for
football Thursday and
Friday during the Crestview
High School Football Camp.
The campers spent the
two three-hour sessions
learning football basics and
playing gridiron games. The
youths warmed up follow-
ing the same pregame rou-

tine as the Bulldog high
school teams. They also
toured the CHS weight room
and football facilities.
The CHS players and
coaches particularly empha-
sized basics like proper
stance and ballhandling
techniques.
"Maybe instill a couple of
things that will catch their
eye and make them like the
game of football," CHS varsi-
ty coach Matt Brunson said.
Brunson got some chuck-
les watching his varsity play-
ers get a taste of football from
the coaches' point of view.
He also enjoyed watching
youths pf all ages and ability
levels playing together on the
same field even though he
had to make sure some of the

older players didn't wipe out
the younger ones.
"We had a great turnout,"
Brunson said said. "I think
the kids had a great time and
got to know some of the
faces and names of some of
the varsity players."
The little gridders
received camp T-shirts on
Friday. They also will get a
sideline view for Crestview's
Kickoff Classic game against
Niceville on Aug. 18.
Campers will view the
pregame warm-ups up dose,
and then watch the game
from a designated area.
Hooper hopes the events
help the youngsters get
hooked on the game.
"This is a good experience
to see the upcoming genera-
tion and try to give them a
positive attitude about foot-
ball," Hooper said. "You've
got to instill that love early.
Tell them it is still a game,
that you have to have fun or
there is no point in playing."

Locals excel at

state tourneys

Baker softball,

Crestview baseball

take third place
Kyle Wright
News Bulletin Sports Editor

A pair of local summer
diamond teams enjoyed suc-
cessful trips to the Tampa
Bay area this month.
The Baker Senior League
softball team finished third
in the Florida Little League
state tournament held July
21-25 in Tampa.
The City of Crestview
Coach Pitch American
League All-Stars finished
third in the Florida Dizzy
Dean state tournament held
July 8-10 in St. Petersburg.
The Baker Senior League
softball team consisted of 15
and 16 year olds from Baker,
Crestview, Laurel Hill and
Jay.
The Baker squad did not-
play its first official game
until the state tournament
because of an absence of
competition at the local lev-
els.
Baker proved it belonged
at the 21-team event with
three wins in its six games.
Two of the losses came
against Seminole, the even-
tual state champion.
"Once we got into the
games, we realized it was just
another., game," said..pitdher
Katie Free, who wilLstart her
sophomore year at Laurel
Hill in a few days. "And we
knew we had a good team.
We all had seen each other on
other teams, but never
played together. At practice,
we were awesome and we all
believed in each other."
Baker finished second in
its five-team pool to advance
to the eight-team elimination
portion of the tournament.

- Youth sports-
Baker reached the semifi-
nals with a 7-5 victory
against Pool B champion
Homestead.
Baker's tournament run
ended with an 8-7 loss
against Seminole. The
Seminole squad defeated
the rest of its opponents by
at least four runs.
The Baker-Seminole semi-
final ended after six innings
- one inning early -
because of a rule preventing
innings from starting after
11:30 p.m.
"It was frustrating to not
to go through to the seventh
inning," said outfielder
Carrie Dunning, who
played at Baker last spring.
The Baker Area Youth
Association sponsored the
Senior League softball team
for the first time this sum-
mer. The organization will
honor the team members at
4 p.m. today at the BAYA
facility.
"It was a big opportunity
for all of us," Dunning said.
"And it was a lot of fun for
all of us."
The City of Crestview
Coach Pitch American
League All-Stars consisted
of youths ages 8 and under
from the city's baseball
league.
The team split its two
pool games on July 8. The
squad advanced to the semi-
finals with a victory against
Fossil Park (St. Petersburg)
in its first elimination game.
Crestview fell against
eventual champion Gulf
Breeze in the semifinals. The
squad completed its tourna-
ment run with a win against
Perdido in the third place
game. Crestview avenged a'
pool play loss against
Perdido.
